Thus, responding "What's it like to not believe in Zeus?" to "What's it like to be an atheist?" isn't analogous to responding "What's it like to not watch hockey?" when asked "What's it like to not watch football?" Rather, it's as if you answered "What is it like to not believe the universe has purpose and meaning?" with a flip "What's it like to not believe in unicorns?" It not only fails to answer the question, but evinces an unhelpful dismissiveness of the underlying concern. /end
